Potatoes Only Control of Ring Rot Disease-Fre- e How new knowledge of plant science can lift some of the load from the mind of a worried farmer is illustrated by results of test plant-ting- s reported by potato breeders of the U. S, department of agriculture. Ring rot is a serious potato disease. It appeared in Canada in 1931, in Maine in 1932, and spread rapidly causing serious crop losses. The only effective control is to plant seed potanothing but disease-fre- e toes. Traces of the disease in seed stock are difficult to detect and may lead to serious losses. Ring rot has been reported from 37 states. If scientific knowledge bad not advanced in the last 100 years, says Dr. R. M. Salter, chief of the bureau of plant industry, the potato industry and the generally might well worry over the possibility of a potato famine such as Ireland had in the Hungry Forties.

Half the hybrids of the cross between President imported from England and the valuable American variety, Katahdin, showed no infection. Several other seedlings showed signs of resistance. These tests indicate that resistance to ring rot can be inherited by the potato. The President variety is not commercially valuable, but from a breeding standpoint it looks to be almost priceless. Based on these tests and their experience it should not be very difficult to produce varieties resistant to ring rot with good commercial qualities. Agriculture in Industry misery feer jd doubt.

IVTC'" Alfalfa Although alfalfa is a fairly recent arrival in the fields of the United States and Canada, it is one of the oldest crops known to man and flourished in Asia and Europe for centuries. For the last 20 years, our farmers have given it great preference and the acreage has nearly doubled. Being especially rich in vitamins, it seems to offer good possibilities for industrial uses. A pilot plant is soon to be set up to extract pigments from dried alfalfa leaves. These will be used in coloring soaps and foods and in preparing medicines. Some experiments also have been made in extracting alfalfa juice for human consumption so it may sometime appear on our breakfast tables. At Michigan State college, scientists have been working on the problem on making plastics out of alfalfa in the same way that soybeans are utilized. At present, the chief industrial product is alfalfa meal which is merely hay ground into coarse particles which can be fed to animals without loss, and , can be shipped more cheaply than baled hay. It can be used in mixed feeds for such small animals as rabbits and poultry. Some of the meal in refined form has been used in breakfast foods for humans and experiments have been made to add carotene extraction to tonics and candy. . Feature.

This vast reservoir of man power would be assigned as part of the total war effort to essential services in factories, on farms, in laboratories and in educational activities training the nations youth. Sponsors of the proposed bill pointed out that it would not only do for essential this country what the work order had accomplished for Great Britain but provide additional directives as well. Back of the sponsorship of the jill, was the urgent belief of the chiefs of the war administration that the longer the war goes on the more imperative will it be for the nation to assign each available man and woman to a specific task in the total war effort. Looming as a possibility was the registration of 42,000,000 women between the ages of 18 and 65, supplementing the recent registration of all males between the ages of 45 and Russian Crisis Heightened as Nazis Potato Breeders THE CHEERFUL CHERUB Total Mobilization?
